"Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited"

This is no ordinary book...

And no ordinary author.

He says:

"Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited" was written under extreme
conditions of duress. It was composed in jail as I was trying to understand
what had hit me. My nine years old marriage dissolved, my finances were in a
shocking condition, my family estranged, my reputation ruined, my personal
freedom severely curtailed. Slowly, the realization that it was all my
fault, that I was sick and needed help penetrated the decades old defenses
that I erected around me."

"This book is the documentation of a road of
self-discovery. It was a painful process, which led to nowhere. I am no
different - and no healthier - today than I was when I wrote this book.
My disorder is here to stay, the prognosis is poor and alarming."

The result is a penetrating personal autopsy of the motivation behind a life
that has veered haphazardly from rags to riches then back again, more than
once.

All before the age of 35.

What exactly is a Narcissist?

"The Narcissist is an actor forced to remain backstage in his own monodrama.
The scenes, not him, take center stage.
Contrary to his reputation, he does not cater to his own needs at all.
Nor does he "love" himself in any true sense of this loaded word.
He feeds off other people, who reflect back at him whatever image he
projects to them.
In his world this is their only function :
to reflect,
to admire,
to applaud,
to detest - in a word, to assure him that he exists.
Otherwise, he feels, no one has the right to tax his time, energy, or
emotions."

A quote from the book "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited"
By Sam Vaknin Ph.D.

"Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Re-Visited" was never originally intended
for Publication, (Dr. Vaknin is far better known in Israel for his highly
acclaimed short stories and in many countries for his economic commentaries
and columns). It was a personal catharsis.

Later, almost as a kind of penance, Dr Vaknin published the work on the
internet "in case it might help someone..."

The printed version was produced in answer to public demand.

Which has also lead to a mailing list 690 members strong
of which Dr Vaknin is both Moderator, and a very active and popular participant.
